Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Many of my students do not have access to books outside of school. I believe that students need books in hand to foster a love for reading. The students that I teach will enjoy these books, but also I have many students that just pop into my reading classroom to read or borrow books.

They have a love for reading and I want to foster that love by providing students with enjoyable books in little hands.

Books provide students with awesome ways to discover new learning and the world within the pages.
